Race Report – Round 1

Thanks to Steve Koen who offered to take over the role of race reporter for Round 1 in the absence of our

usual contributor.

Held at Eastern Creek on Saturday 31st March and Sunday 1

st April.

A total of sixteen race cars entered and fronted up for qualifying on a beautiful sunny Saturday morning.

Missing was reigning State Champion Dameon Jameson, who is running his newly painted Jaguar in the

National Series this year and so missing from the State Championship. Chris Jackson brought his trusty

Calibra, sponsored by CSJ Engineering and Fuel to Race. Chris took fastest lap with a blistering 1 min

32.78 seconds on his second lap of qualifying. Geoffrey Whittaker was only about 0.2 seconds behind

Chris, showing just how well the Reds Racing Service VL Commodore has now been developed and

presented.

Birol Cetin brought the former Scott Butler Billy’s Motorsport Chev Camaro into third spot in qualifying,

with a 1 min 34.7. Billy has come to grips with this car, and has it running beautifully. As the weekend

developed, though, Billy made the decision that he needs to follow the leaders and move to Michelin tyres.

The Dunlops were good for the first few laps, then went off completely as the race progressed. A welcome

return was Anthony Macready, in his Nissan 300ZX. Anthony is now sponsored by Interlloy Pty Ltd. Gail

was heard to suggest that the car hadn’t been on the track for a long time, and mightn’t know its way

around. Not a problem – Anthony sure showed the car the right way.

5

Simon Copping brought his Industrie Clothing 5-litre Commodore into 5th

place in qualifying, and

deserves credit for how well these cars perform against lighter and more powerful cars. Following Simon

was Steve Shiels, in the Central West Driver Training Camaro Z28. The car is beautifully prepared, and

the repairs to the nose cone after Bathurst are immaculate, and credit is rightly given to Blatch Quality

Smash Repairs for the great work.

Scott Reed didn’t bring the Oz Truck – neither did the Coulters bring theirs – but Scott did bring a

magnificent looking Pro-Cut Racing late model Mustang. This not only looks the part, but will only

improve from here. Check out the interior, as it looks very much space age stuff.

Following Scott were Fred Axisa in his Austrack Motorsport Commodore, Stuart Inwood in another 5 litre

car, the Inwood Racing Falcon AU, Grant Doulman in his new ride, the Sinoco LED Lights Commodore,

then Darren Steeden in the well presented white Mk 1 Ford Escort with a 6 litre V8, Steve Lacey in the

former Grant Doulman / Simon Copping blue VK Commodore, Russell Bayley in the Shannon Civil

Racing Corvette, Andrew Leithhead in the GTA Motorsport Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV6, David Cameron in

the Subway Holden Gemini, and Michael Hiscoe in the Sonic Interactive Mitsubishi EVO 9 GT who only

completed 1 lap of qualifying after blowing the turbo.

6

Grant Doulman had a frightening experience as he negotiated Turn 9. He saw some smoke, and

immediately thought that his tyres had smoked up a little. Until he saw it was black smoke. He immediately

pulled into the infield, right next to Martin Koen from Koenphoto. We understand that the flames

emanating from Grant’s Commodore caused Martin to move pretty quickly. Funny thing was that Grant

had an extinguisher in the car, despite some concerns with the scrutineers earlier that day. It appears that

you don’t have to have an extinguisher, but if you do have one, it needs to conform to Schedule H. More

details to come on this, but Grant was able to extinguish the flames before too much damage was done

using his own extinguisher. The flaggies didn’t have any extinguishers at their flag point. Neither did the

truck which came to assist Grant back to the pits. Could have been a really bad one, similar to the Tony

7

Ricciardello incident at Mallala the following weekend where no extinguishers at the flag point (it was the

Friday) meant a small fire became a big one and badly damaged an iconic Sports Sedan in the National

Series.

Race 1 got underway, but not until Anthony Macready had some misfortune after Turn 1. The input shaft of

his transaxle appeared to be a concern. Chris Jackson took the lead from pole position, and looked to have

the race sewn up at that stage. Geoff Whittaker followed closely, with Birol Cetin on his tail. Steve Shiels

was fourth, then Fred Axisa, Simon Copping, then Darren Steeden in the Escort, Grant Doulman, Scott

Reed, Stuart Inwood uncharacteristically further back, then Russell Bayley, Steve Lacey, Andrew

Leithhead and David Cameron in the very pretty Holden Gemini. Geoff Whittaker made a very determined

dive to go under Chris Jackson in turn 2, but it didn’t come off for Geoff. Meanwhile, Birol Cetin was right

on their tails. Lap 2 was unchanged except that Darren Steeden dropped to 10th

position, and Andrew

Leithhead didn’t complete the lap. Lap 3 showed Chris pulling a small lead over the battle for second

between Geoff Whittaker and Birol Cetin. Lap 4 showed Steve Lacey pass Russell Bayley to claim 10th,

and Chris Jackson extended his lead very slightly. Grant Doulman went a bit wide on turn 2, touched the

dirt and didn’t drop any pace. In fact, the fifth lap was Grant’s fastest lap for Race 1. Fred Axisa dropped

out, meaning Grant Doulman moved into 5th

position.

On the 5th

lap, Chris Jackson and Geoff Whittaker battled for the lead, with Chris remaining in front. Birol

Cetin had dropped back a little, possibly with the Dunlops starting to go off. Steve Shiels held a lonely

fourth position, and Steve Lacey pulled a beautifully executed dive under Darren Steeden in turn 2 to take

9th

position. 6th

lap, and Birol Cetin dropped right back to 7th

position after his tyres let him down. Chris

Jackson pulled a good lead again and looked about to lap David Cameron in the Gemini. 7th

lap, and Grant

Doulman had another misfortune when he holed the sump after some very impressive times, putting him

out for the weekend and putting Scott Reed into 4th

position. Birol Cetin pulled a massive dive under Stuart

Inwood on turn 2, but then Birol’s engine cut out leaving Stuart to regain 6th

position.

By lap 8, Chris Jackson started to experience some difficulties and Geoff Whittaker was catching him.

Steve Shiels was also on the run, and Simon Copping was pushing hard behind him. On lap 11, as Chris

Jackson came out of turn 1, gremlins struck and the car coasted to a halt. Chris later found out that a fuse

had blown, leaving the fuel pump with no power. It wasn’t good to see Chris and Anthony Macready

standing in the infield while others continued around them. Final positions after 13 laps were Geoff

8

Whittaker having a well deserved win, followed by Steve Shiels, Scott Reed scoring third in his first run in

the Mustang, followed by Simon Copping, Stuart Inwood, Birol Cetin, then one lap down were Steve

Lacey, Russell Bayley, Darren Steeden after troubles with his rims holding air, and David Cameron closing

out the race.

Race 2 was the Sunday morning event, with Grant Doulman and Fred Axisa missing from the sixteen

starters of the first race. Michael Hiscoe was back, having replaced the turbo in the Sonic Interactive

Mitsubishi. Anthony Macready had worked throughout the afternoon and evening to replace the broken

input shaft and was also ready for Sunday’s racing.

Beautiful weather again put a smile on all faces, and the Superkarts had a very brief run before the Sports

Sedans opened the rest of the race program. No one mentioned that April 1st was April Fool’s Day,

fortunately. Anthony Macready and Chris Jackson started from the rear of the field, having DNF’d in Race

1. Pole sitter, Geoff Whittaker, was confident that he would be looking for Chris in his rear view mirror,

soon after the first lap.

Chris Jackson had a blinder of a start, and by turn 4, was in fifth place behind Geoff Whittaker, Steve

Shiels, Scott Reed (at that stage) and Simon Copping. Simon and Chris both passed the Reed Mustang

before the first lap was completed. By lap 2, Chris was second to Geoff, who had pulled a substantial lead.

This continued for a few laps, with Birol Cetin and Simon Copping having a good race swapping positions

several times. Lap 4 saw Chris Jackson’s gremlins return, which took him out of the race again. Later

9

investigation showed that a fuel line earthed out on the power terminal, blowing the fuse. That won’t

happen again. Scott Reed passed Anthony Macready, which resulted in the Mustang taking second position,

and both Birol Cetin and Steve Shiels had their fastest laps. Third position then became a good battle

between Steve Shiels, Stuart Inwood, Anthony Macready and Simon Copping.

Lap 6 saw unrelated spins and rapid recoveries by both Simon Copping (over the bridge) and Anthony

Macready (turn 10), with Anthony barely touching the wall and scratching the duco and wing slightly. The

exhaust exit ended up a funny shape, but nothing a few taps with a hammer couldn’t sort out after the race.

After the final (8th

) lap, Geoff Whittaker took his second win from 2 races, followed by Birol Cetin, Steve

10

Shiels and Scott Reed. The first three placegetters were three of the four Steve’s Toyshop cars in the race.

Maybe race 3 could have them all in the final winners circle?

Sunday afternoon saw Race 3, the Trophy Race, with Chris Jackson again at the rear of the field. The fuse

wasn’t going to blow this time. The lights for the race start came on and something strange happened.

Several cars jumped, then stopped, then went again. Not 100% just what occurred there, but the officials

later imposed 5 second penalties to Geoff Whittaker, Birol Cetin and Steve Shiels. The rest of the field

jumped once the lights went out. One day, I’ll wait at the start line and record the start in slow motion, so

we can be sure and certain who does or doesn’t “jump the start”.

Birol Cetin made a blinder of a start, and jumped clear into the lead. He was followed across the start line

the first time by Geoff Whittaker, Anthony Macready, Steve Shiels, Stuart Inwood, Scott Reed, Simon

Copping, Darren Steeden, Steve Lacey, Russell Bayley, Andrew Leithhead, Michael Hiscoe, Chris Jackson

after a spin coming out of turn 9, and David Cameron. Lap 2 saw Birol Cetin leading from Geoff

Whittaker, and a hard charging Anthony Macready pushing them both. Anthony passed Geoff on the next

lap, then a drag race out of Turn 9 resulted in Anthony passing Birol for the lead. Chris Jackson had

climbed into 7th

position. Andrew Leithhead unfortunately had to pit in the 5th

lap, taking out a very pretty

race car.

By the end of the fifth lap, Anthony was holding a good lead from Geoff Whittaker, who had passed Birol

Cetin again (those damned Dunlops!) with Chris Jackson now running 4th

on the track ahead of Steve

11

Shiels, with another race within a race between Darren Steeden and Steve Lacey further back. By the end of

the seventh lap, Anthony still held first place but was being harassed by Geoff Whittaker, and Chris

Jackson looking ready to pounce. Scott Reed pitted in the Mustang, after a very impressive debut outing.

Second last lap we find Geoff Whittaker back in the lead, with Chris Jackson all over the red Commodore.

Anthony was a fair way back, and Russell Bayley had also pitted. This was another 1 min 34 second lap for

Chris Jackson, and on the ninth lap, the final one, Chris Jackson passed Geoff Whittaker to take over the

top spot. After the handful of 5 second penalties were applied, the finishing order was Chris Jackson,

Anthony Macready, Geoff Whittaker, Birol Cetin, Steve Shiels, Stuart Inwood, Simon Copping, Darren

Steeden, Steve Lacey, Michael Hiscoe in the Mitsubishi EVO 9GT, Russell Bayley and David Cameron

being the one and only Division 3 car to finish.

All appearances are that 2012 is going to be a fantastic year for the Sports Sedans. With cars like Anthony

Macready’s Nissan returning, Birol Cetin getting some fantastic performances from the Camaro, Scott

Reed’s magnificent Mustang, Grant Doulman showing that his Commodore is going to be amongst the top

runners, and Chris Jackson, Steve Shiels and Geoff Whittaker pushing the pointy end, we will be in for an

exciting and enjoyable year. Bring on Wakefield Park!

2012 Best Presented Award

Thanks to the generosity of our major sponsor, Air Technology Australia, 2012 again sees the

awarding of a “Best Presented” prize. The award includes a perpetual trophy and an individual trophy

each year. To be eligible all you have to do is turn up and race, having put a little pride and preparation

into your beloved Sports Sedan. An independent judge representing one of our sponsors will allocate

points at each round of the championship for the cars and teams deemed to be best presented, with

the winning car being that with the most accumulated points over the year.

The Best Presented recipients for Round 1 are:

Michael Hiscoe 3 points

Steve Shiels 2 points

Fred Axisa 1 point

13

ASSA Membership

The State Championship Regulations require that for championship points to be allocated at any time

during the season, you must be a financial member of ASSA NSW prior to the event you wish to score

points in.

That means that if you are not a member, you will not be allocated points. You can remain a member of

another club and enter state rounds based on that membership, but to score championship points you must

be a member of ASSA NSW.

2012 Membership forms are now available on the ASSA NSW website.

Series Sponsor and Windscreen Banners

Air Technology Australia will once again be the major sponsor of the NSW Sports Sedan State

Championship in 2012.

As part of the 2012 Championship Regulations all cars competing for State Championship points must

display a sponsor windscreen banner.

In addition a number of Round Sponsors are supporting Sports Sedans again in 2012. Stickers from each of

the round sponsors should also be on display on every car. Stickers and windscreen banners will be

supplied to anyone who needs them.

14

Series Sponsor On Board Again for 2012

2012 sees the return of the State Championship series sponsor, Air Technology Australia.

All State Championship cars will be wearing an Air Technology Australia windscreen banner supplied by

ASSA for the season. The company will also continue to sponsor the Best Presented Award.

Air Technology Australia supplies ventilation and air conditioning equipment to end users and contractors,

including fans, water chillers, electric motors, variable speed drives, controls, ventilation grilles, weather

louvres and associated spare parts.

They also supply fibreglass automotive components for specific Sports Sedan builders.

Customers are many and varied. Their activities include mining diamonds and gold, building road and rail

tunnels, spray booths, food processing factories, all kinds of manufacturing, industrial applications,

education at schools and universities, transportation, and buildings both small and large. The ATA

customer base is spread throughout the whole of Australia and they have exported to customers on nearby

Pacific Islands and in the Middle East.

The Air Technology Australia focus is on quality energy efficient solutions for air movement applications.

Classes/Divisions for 2012

Just a reminder about the class points system for the 2012 Club Championship.

Once again in 2012 there are three divisions, based on lap times. Research conducted into results over the

last couple of years has aided in determining the division times, which are based on Eastern Creek lap times

due to that circuit being the venue for Round 1. Please note that the lap times have varied slightly from the

2011 times, helping to even out the spread of competitors in each division.

The divisions are:

Division 1: Under 1:37.00

Division 2: 1:37.00 to 1:42.00

Division 3: Over 1:42.00

Therefore it doesn’t matter what type of car you are driving (i.e. Space Frame or Floor Pan), how fast you

go determines what division you run in and you should (in theory) be on track racing amongst drivers who

are competing for the same division.

Divisions will generally be allocated based on the qualifying session from Round 1. Of course, there may

be some issues with cars or other factors that will provide an inaccurate gauge of some lap times. The

committee may re-allocate some drivers into another division based on prior results and lap times in dry

conditions.

Similarly, any driver who wishes to be placed in a higher division can request this through the committee –

so if you know that Round 1 is not going to show the true potential of your car but that you will be

improving throughout the season, you can opt to move up a division in advance.

Changes to divisions will only occur after Round 1 in exceptional circumstances, as the Division point

scores will be affected if changes are made later in the season.

If you missed Round 1 the committee will allocate an appropriate division for later rounds based on

historical performance and current, matching lap times from either circuit.

The committee will also allocate further classes within the three divisions should there be enough

competitors. For example if we get a few historic Sports Sedans, some ex-V8 Supercars, or a contingent of

utes or trucks running for the season then class points will be allocated and a class trophy awarded at the

end of the season.

The State Championship will still be decided on outright points and in this regard remains unchanged.

Point Scores

The point scores for both the State Championship and the Club Championship will be calculated in the

same way as last year – 20 points for 1st place, 18 points for 2

nd place, 16 points for third place and then 15

points down to 1 point for the next 15 places.

For the State Championship points will be allocated on an outright basis for each of the three races at each

round. The fastest qualifier at each round will also be allocated two (2) points.

For the Club Championship points will be allocated for each Division and will include qualifying and each

of the three races at each round. Therefore if you happen to qualify well but the rest of your weekend goes

awry, you still walk away with some points from the round. Class points will also be allocated in this way.

16

Division 3 Receives Sponsorship Support

Round sponsor and regular photographic contributors Koen Photo have provided extra support to NSW

Sports Sedans in 2012 by supplying trophies and other benefits for Division 3 competitors. The NSW

Committee has been looking at ways to attract more Division 3 competitors and build upon the class, and

the support from Koen Photo will go a long way to achieving this.

Koen Photo are looking at 1st, 2

nd and 3

rd trophies for each of the six State Championship rounds, then a

Finals for the Presentation Night. They will also be making a special “Encouragement Award” to someone

in Division 3.

The NSW Committee is very grateful to Koen Photo for their ongoing support and in particular their push

to improve Division 3 in 2012.

If you are a Division 3 competitor or would like to be, please contact the Committee through Geoff

Whittaker, or simply turn up and race!

EMBROIDERY SERVICES EXAMPLE PAGE:

Supply your Own Design or Photo (JPG File) or select from a huge range of standard designs. Some examples are

attached below.

Any image can be digitised & any design can be embroidered in any size, but just like a digital photo, the larger the

embroidery size required - the better quality image (JPG) needs to be. If you have a small (low quality) image, this

can be enhanced and re-digitised to suit your needs.
